Schedule of Spending

The Schedule of Spending presented below is an overview of the fiscal year (FY) 2012 resources of GSA and how they were used. The schedule is presented to help the public better understand what money was provided to GSA, how GSA spent the money, and to whom the money was paid. Simplified terms were used to improve understanding of budgetary accounting terminology used on the Combining Statements of Budgetary Resources (CSBR), on page 22.

What Money is Available to Spend represents the authority that GSA was given to spend by law and the status of that authority. In this section:

Total Resources represents amounts approved for spending by law.

Less Amount Not Agreed to be Spent represents amounts that GSA was allowed to spend but did not take actions to spend.

Less Amount Not Available to be Spent represents the amount of total budgetary resources that were not approved for spending.

Total Amounts Agreed to be Spent represents the amount of spending actions taken by GSA for the fiscal year. This represents contracts, orders and other legally binding obligations of the federal government to pay for goods and services when received.

How was the Money Spent identifies the major categories for which GSA made payments during the year. In this section:

Total Spending represents the sum of all payments GSA made during each year against Amounts Agreed to be Spent. Balances include payments made to liquidate Amounts Agreed To be Spent originating in both the current as well as from prior fiscal years.

Amounts Remaining to be Spent represents the difference between Total Spending versus Amounts Agreed to be Spent. Since payments can relate to spending activity initiated in the current and prior years, it is not unusual for total payments in a fiscal year to exceed the amount of the new spending actions originated that year, that are reported under Amounts Agreed to be Spent. When this condition occurs, negative amounts will be displayed as the balance of Amounts Remaining to be Spent.

Who did the Money go to identifies the major recipients, by federal and non-federal entities. Amounts in this section are Amounts Agreed to be Spent, rather than actual payments.
